    Very funny – love his very, very subtle humour. Grateful he saved Aaron Sorkin’s life, too. Never heard that story. Scary.

    Awesome episode. Mr. Malina is a delight! His wit and tone make a nice complement to Cole and Vanessa.
    First prank? First one I recall that was really a prank… when on a school camp a friend evicted me from our bunk room to “rendezvous” with a young “lady”. So, I spread a rumour with everyone else at camp that there was a cool but clandestine party in that room. So, someone knocked on the door about every minute or two for the next 2 hours looking for the party. Vengeance!

    Great show. Loved the Sports Night & West Wing stories.

    My best prank…when I was in high school, we had a mouse roaming the kitchen, so my parents set out one of the classic wooden mousetraps with the heavy steel snap bar.

    I was in there one night, the rest of my family was in the other room. I took a pencil, popped the trap and screamed in agony at the top of my lungs. Needless to say, the parental units didn’t find it as funny as I did.

    So great. The West Wing is definitely one of the best television dramas ever. In the first grade (way back when it was safe for me to walk by myself) I would constantly tell my mom that a dog followed me home from school and then it would leave right before I got to the door. I used to think it was the funniest thing in the world. My humor was evolved in a way since then. Don’t know if that’s a real prank but 7 year old me had a great time.

    First GOOD prank was in college. A new kid moved into our dorm, but a few of us knew him from classes the previous year when he was a commuter. A bunch of us Math majors barricaded his door with empty soda boxes (those 12 packs that are long and skinny) and duct tape. The next morning, we set up a video camera so we could catch him busting through the barrier. It was awesome… he looked like the Hulk, smashing down a brick wall.

    OMG.
    He looks like the white version of Kid from Kid-n-Play.
    Granted, perhaps it took a black person (like me) to recognize this
    but now that you guys see it, you gotta agree.

    It cut out right when he got to Jon Hamm sweeping the floor.
